Sunny Sunday Best

Heeeeey!

Before I go on, I'd just like to apologise for the crappy DIY photos in this post. There was no-one around to take my photos for me today, and the weather was so sunny - not that I'm complaining about good weather - that the full length photos taken from a distance kept coming out all washed out!!So, I have decided to focus on my accessories today.
After all, accessories are what really make or break an outfit, so why not talk about them? - The thing that "ruined" this look for me today was the fact that eye-brows need threading. But, whatever. Hair is part of us and I need to get over that one.

I wore this to go to mass today. It was my first time going to my local church and honestly, I was not impressed. I much prefer the other two churches I usually go to. The priest at my local church was giving a speech that was annoyingly repetitive, and which to me sounded like a lot of religious propaganda - and I can't stand things like that. Besides, is he trying to convert the converted into what they already believe, by bashing other faiths? I believe what I believe because it is what my heart tells me is the truth. However, I am not some narrow-minded ignorant idiot simply because I have faith. I understand there are other faiths out there, and that we all have free-will and the right to choose our path. I have no reason to sit through a mass listening to what to me, was bordering on hate speech. If I go to mass, it's to give thanks, worship and to enrich my learning of my faith. Nothing more and nothing less. I believe in, and love, God. That is, the father, the son and the holy spirit. I believe that God is love, and God loves all of us, precisely because he is love, and he especially loves those who stray away from him, because we all need to be loved the most when we least deserve it. As a christian - Catholic to be precise - I am not here to judge, hate or manipulate. I am here to love, respect and/or at the very least, be compassionate and understanding of others choices and situations in life. If God can give us free-will to choose our faith and paths in life, then who are we mere humans, all sinners, to judge and hate on those who do not choose the same faith and path as us? I guess that's my question for my next catachesis session!!

I suppose I feel so strongly about that sort of thing because of the upbringing I had. I come from a Catholic family, but grew up in a very multicultural part of London, and have been exposed to many different cultures and religions throughout my entire life. So I know that there are good and bad people in every country, race and religion. Just because I do not believe in the same thing as the next person, that does mean I have the right to feel negatively towards them. I always think with religious wars that the only thing behind them is the force of one man's arrogance and his self-proclaimed sense of superiority over another man based on something that is very personal to the individual. - On a slightly chirpier note, I have finally found a place to move to. The house - the interior decor to be exact - is, in my humble opinion, disastrous. It could be further removed from my liking. However, the landlady seems lovely, and very very flexible. So fingers crossed, this next place will work out for me. I should be moved in my the end of this week. Please wish me well! I have the whole world praying for me on this one! I can't even begin to express in words how happy I am!!
